# Custom Elytras

This is a sub-feature of using COMPONENT based CustomArmor, letting you make custom textured elytras.\
The pattern for adding it is exactly the same as explained in [CustomArmor](broken://pages/HYHg9kLcfi9m3kscfcUq)-section, with some slight differences. The Equippable-Component model-property is suffixed with \_elytra, and the itemid follows the scheme `armorname_elytra`

Here is a config example:

```yaml
forest_elytra:
  itemname: "Forest Elytra"
  material: ELYTRA
  Pack:
    texture: nexo:item/nexo_armor/forest_elytra_icon
  Components:
    equippable:
      slot: CHEST
      asset_id: nexo:forest_elytra
```
